Finding Florida Opportunities With Emily Paxhia

This week’s show starts with a conversation about the large number of CEO replacements this year. Thus far, AYR Wellness, Ascend, Curaleaf, and The Cannabist all have new leadership. Jesse and Morgan discuss what's driving the changes and what makes a qualified cannabis CEO. Emily Paxhia, co-founder of Poseidon, joins 20 minutes into the episode live from Florida. She's been in Tallahassee and shared her perspective on the obstacles in getting Amendment 3 passed and potential hurdles with the implementation. We also dug into what it takes to succeed in Florida and the challenges and opportunities associated with mandatory vertical integration. Finally, Emily explains how what makes a good medical dispensary may not translate to adult use and how the state's over 130 million annual tourists impact the cannabis industry.
